About 50% of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) survivors have cognitive or neurobehavioral dysfunction. The mechanisms are not known. This study characterized behavioral deficits in a rat SAH model, and correlated these changes with histological alterations. SAH was induced by injection of 0.3 ml blood into the prechiasmatic cistern. Cognitive and memory changes were investigated in the Morris water maze. Neuronal cell death was evaluated by fluoro-jade and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Vasospasm was assessed on cross-sections of middle and anterior cerebral arteries. Microthromboemboli were quantified by fibrinogen staining. Escape latency and swimming distance were significantly increased in rats with SAH as compared to controls (P
